BREADED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Pull chicken out of the fridge, and allow to come to room temp, for 15-20 minutes. Cover chicken with plastic wrap and pound to even thickness of ½ an inch. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to achieve this.
• Remove plastic, pat chicken dry with paper towels, and liberally season with salt and pepper.
• Take three pie plates, or shallow dishes, place Panko bread crumbs and parmesan in one, flour and paprika in another, and break eggs into the other one with garlic. Use a fork to mix together panko and parmesan, flour and paprika, then use the same fork to whisk eggs and garlic together until frothy.
• Working with one cutlet at a time, dredge in flour, shake off excess.
• Then dredge in eggs, and allow excess to drip off.
• Then dredge in panko crumbs, press gently to make sure crumbs adhere.
• Place chicken on a wire rack that is sprayed with a non-stick spray.
• Let chicken sit for 5 minutes to allow the coating to dry.
• Meanwhile, in a 12 inch non-stick skillet, over medium-high heat, add oil, and heat until shimmering. You should have enough oil to go half way up the chicken breast cutlets in your pan, add or reduce oil as needed based on the pan you use.
• Cook cutlets in the oil 2 at a time, cooking until golden brown on one side, about 2-3 minutes. Then flip cutlets, reduce heat to medium, and cook until cutlets are a deep golden brown, and crisp. About 2 ½ -3 minutes longer.
• Use an instant read thermometer to ensure cutlets are cooked to 165 degrees internal temperature.
• Remove chicken cutlets from oil, and place on a paper towel lined plate.
• Repeat process with remaining chicken cutlets.
• Serve with lemon wedges.

BREADED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make bread crumbs: Trim the crust off the bread and discard, tear bread into pieces. Spread bread out on a microwave-safe plate, and microwave on HIGH for 1 minute to dry out the bread. (Alternately, spread the bread out on a baking sheet and dry in a preheated 300 degree F oven for 22 to 25 minutes.) Pulse the dried bread or crumbs in a food processor with the thyme, lemon zest, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
• With the flat side of a cook's knife or the smooth side of a meat-pounder, pound each breast to equal thickness. Put the flour, eggs, and the bread crumbs each separately in 3 shallow dishes. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Dip each breast into the flour, then shake off the excess. Next, run the breast through the egg to coat it lightly and hold the chicken over the liquid to let any excess fall back into the bowl. Finally, lay the chicken in the bread crumbs, turn it over and press it into the breading to coat. Lay on a piece of waxed paper.
• Heat a large skillet (12 inches in diameter) over medium heat. Add the oil. Lay 2 chicken breasts smooth-side down in the pan. Cook the chicken without turning until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook until equally brown on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining 2 breasts. Transfer chicken to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Place all 4 breasts on a rack over a baking pan and bake until firm to the touch, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
• Serving suggestion: Lemon wedges, thyme sprigs for garnish .

BREADED CHICKEN CUTLET WITH HAM, TRIPLE CREME CHEESE AND BABY ARUGULA

Steps:

• For the arugula salad: Whisk together the vinegar, mustard and some salt and pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Add the arugula and toss to coat the leaves with the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the chicken: Place the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls and sprinkle each with salt and pepper.
• Place each chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thickness.
• Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, dredge each breast in the flour and tap off excess. Dip into the egg wash and let any excess drip off, and then dredge on both sides in the breadcrumbs. Place on a baking rack set over a baking sheet.
• Preheat 2 large nonstick saute pans over high heat. Add 3 tablespoons of the butter and 1 tablespoon of the oil to each pan and heat until the butter is melted and sizzling. Place 2 breasts in each pan and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the breasts over and continue cooking until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes longer. Remove each breast to a large plate and immediately top each breast with a few slices of cheese, a few slices of ham and some of the arugula salad.
